Hubby and I are undecided with baby number 4's name. We have a daughter Sophie and two sons Harvey and Morgan.

I like Elsa or Autumn
hubby likes Isobelle or Eleanor

Boys names which we both like are:
Theo
Isaac
Ewan

I always think that Elsa is a lions name, I love Autumn, there is an Isobelle/Isabella/Isabel in every class in the school I work in.

Theo is also very popular but my favourite out of your list, and I think its a great name.

Autumn and Theo go well with your other names IMO.

Elsa - it is lovely, classic, timeless and elegant.
Autumn is nice enough.
Isobelle and Eleanor are a bit boring, but fine.

I only like Isaac out of your boys names, and that is only because it has Ike as a nn, which is fab!

I'm not keen on Autumn but I like all the others!

I like Isobelle and Eleanor best but not keen on any of the other names. I also think of Elsa as a lion. How about Isla or Ailsa? Really not keen on Autumn....Theo seems very popular on here but I have a real aversion to both that and Thea...

Sorry not very helpful but think we just have different tastes in names and you'd probably hate choices!

Like Elsa and Autumn (if born in Autumn).

I like most of your names & I'm usually quite fussy with names.

LOVE Autumn!! & I don't think it needs to be an autumn baby. Pretty and unusual.

Elsa: meh, not my thing personally but its ok. I also think its quite trendy and may date.

Eleanor & Isobelle: both beautiful and classic but would be too popular for me. Would Eleanor be called Ella?? Lots of these around.

Love all three of your boys names. If you like Ewan what about Ethan? Or Evan? Or Ellis?

Elsa or Eleanor.

Any variation of Isobel, and you're likely to meet another one at every turn (also Theo and Isaac).

Autumn has always struck me as a slightly odd name, and really only OK if the baby is born in the Autumn. Alss really like Ewan. Clearly I like "E" names.

Else for me.

The 'I' name can be Isobel or Isabelle. Isobelle is all wrong linguistically.

Like all your boys' names. 'Autumn' will end up being really irritating for a child not born in the autumn. Elsa is really lovely, Isabelle/Isobel v nice too, but as others have said there are loads of them around.

Autumn - No. No, no, no, no, NO. Otherwise in order of preference I like Eleanor, Isobel (short scots spelling, lovely) but never Izzy or Belle as nicknames - horrid, and then Elsa.

For boys, Theo or Isaac, both gorgeous. Ewan, can't get enthusiastic about it, sorry.

Isobelle/any variant is very boring and there are so so many round my area (southeast). I used to think it was pretty but it is so common now. Love Autumn though! Not fussed on any boys names mentioned.

I like Elsa best - very much in vogue as a short sweet name which has been around for a while but sounds fresh again. Much nicer than Elsie IMO.
Autumn - I'm not keen, personally I think it's a bit odd and American sounding.
Isobelle and it's various spellings is still hugely popular, I know loads, but it is a lovely name.
Of your boys names Isaac would be my favourite, followed by Ewan which is great too.

Elsa and either Isaac or Theo. They were all on our list for dd 5 weeks so you have great taste !

MsGee Sat 11-Feb-12 22:13:06

I love Elsa - my chosen name if I'd had another child. Also love Eleanor - but DD is Eleonora (or Nora) so I'm biased grin

I love Elsa or Eleanor - both fab

Isabelle is also nice, but Isobelle is a confusing spelling. You normally see Isabelle or Isobel I think?

Autumn is a bit cheesy.

Thanks for your help, although we are really none the wiser. We still haven't got a name that we both love.

I'm not due until the end of Sept, but I wanted to get a shortlist of names ready as we really couldn't decide a name for our youngest.

I didn't realise that Theo and Isabelle were so popular sad. I'm in Wales and
the trend here seems to be Megan, Cadi (Caddy), Osian (Osh Ann) and Cai.

I'm sure we'll get there smile

I like Elsa and Autumn, although Autumn might go well if she was born in autumn! Just my humble opinion.
